Let's make basicInspect robust to crazy numbers.
With http://www.squeaksource.com/ArbitraryPrecisionFl.html I can create crazy numbers like this: ((1 asArbitraryPrecisionFloatNumBits: 100) timesTwoPower: 1e100)
But then I can't print to decimal form (a bit too many bytes to be allocated....).
The problem when debugging such monster is that basicInspect is not basicEnough: it insists on printing the Number in the inspector title (label)!
If we invoke basicInspect, we generally want something basic. Even if we just inspect, having a label spanning more than 100 chars is vain...
So let's be robust.
